That seems surprising as 64bit will address all 8 gb of RAM where 32 bit will max at 3. I see quite a difference between my 64bit laptop and my 32bit desktop right now in VS.
>64 bit won't make a big difference for VS.

>>My laptop is an i7 and runs Win 7 64bit so seems like it will be worth the effort to upgrade the primary drive.

>>Found an HD caddy to swap into the CD Rom bay, so will move the current primary - 500 mb to that as a second drive..

>> Running multiple instances of VS2012, with SSMS etc is just getting tedious on my old desktop with 32bit. (and that's in 2012 and c# - vs2010 with a big VB app is painful. )
>>
>>Laptop has 6gb now but I will soon bump to 8 (which is the official max. y580s are said to handle 16gb nicely but not sure about the y560 yet, though I suspect the processor and 64bit os are more the issue )
>>
>>Anybody have experience of upgrading a laptop to SSD?
>>
>>I hear is it a very nice difference. They say it comes with software to mirror current HD to new one but if not I have Paragon suite.
>>
>>I'll report back tomorrow on results, or at least vent my frustration ( I hate hardware and all its evil works )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
